ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT Vista Performance
Testing - Prey
 While not as taxing as some of our DX9 titles, Prey is an important benchmark as it is one of a few OpenGL games out there that can put pressure on a system. It uses a very heavily modified Doom 3 engine with a lot of open spaces and inventive portal-centric level designs, not to mention visceral, moving surfaces and "Spirit Walking" effects. We've recorded our own timedemo that starts by flying an exo-suit through a huge series of tubes, a handful of portals, an aerial battle and finally some emergency sniping on foot. The settings, aside from anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, are set as high as possible. The current version of the game is 1.3.

on June 2, 2007 - 10:51 pm Just a heads up that you might not know but the HD 2900XT does not actually feature any HD hardware acceleration at all. Check up on http://www.techreport.com for the verified word from ATI themselves. Apparently only the lower end versions have it, much like nVidia's situation.

on June 2, 2007 - 11:29 pm Yup, we posted news about that, linking to Tech Report as a matter of fact. :) http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11599/Radeon+HD+... Thanks for the heads up, in any event. :) 3 - Posted by

on June 3, 2007 - 11:25 am You're right though, I word that awkwardly, and probably shouldn't say in the conclusion that it has hardware Avivo (which what it doesn't have is HD Avivo). On the other hand, it still uses Avivo, and the video playback quality is far and away better than on the 8800GTS 640, specifically SD playback. I can't vouch for HD content because I don't have HD media yet.
